Purge checked items and undo purge

00:04

You have a few options on how you can purge items all

00:06

the way from one at a time to everything at once.

00:10

You can click on the box next to an individual item to

00:12

add it to the queue or on the entire category box.

00:16

Here, I'm selecting the bar scale block in the entire category.

00:20

You'll also notice

00:22

that this individual item has a visual representation.

00:25

So you'll see it in the preview window.

00:27

Once selected, click on the purge checked items button,

00:30

you'll get the confirmation box.

00:32

It will ask you whether to purge each item you have selected

00:36

unless you choose the second option,

00:37

which is to go ahead and purge all the checked items.

00:40

Let's click on that option.

00:42

The items will be immediately removed and you'll

00:44

see that the blocks category is now empty.

00:47

You can also click on the all items box to purge all categories.

00:51

This time will suppress the confirmation dialogue by deselecting.

00:54

Confirm each item to be purged in the options section.

00:58

Click on the purge checked items button

01:00

and all categories with pur

01:02

items will be removed.

01:04

Notice though

01:05

that all items are still selected and blocks line types and textiles

01:09

still have an expansion icon indicating there are items within these categories.

01:14

That's because they contained nested items.

01:17

You'll have to continue purging to remove them.

01:19

And perhaps even again and again, depending on the depth of the nested items.

01:24

Click on purge checked items again and the list will be

01:27

clear of expansion icons indicating that everything has been purged at

01:31

this point. Close the purge dialogue.

01:34

Let's set the drawing back to its original state complete with the items.

01:38

We've just purged

01:39

to do this. We're going to use a little known option of the undue command

01:43

type in undo on the command line. Then specify B for back,

01:48

you'll be warned that everything will be undone.

01:50

Well, that's what we want type Y for.

01:52

Yes at the prompt and your drawing will go back to how it was when you opened it.
